The Footlocker
April, 1945 - Second Lieutenant Joseph Traver huddles at the Navigator's table, fighting the freezing temperature in the nose section of the B-17 bomber. A terrifying experience left him wondering if he would live to see his children for the first time. On the return trip from his first bombing mission over Germany, he holds two letters. One is from his wife. The other from a woman he met months before his departure to join the war effort. His conflicted feelings for both women have his mind racing, a distraction he can ill afford at this critical juncture in the war. May, 2009 - Mark Traver travels from Central Florida to Sandusky, Ohio to settle the estate of his father, Joseph Traver, a man he barely knew. He hoped the task would be simple - dispose of the house and the few personal belongings of his long-widowed father. His two sisters offer no support. Mark's feelings are twisted as they plunge his thoughts into a past he banished from his memory. The gloomy atmosphere that once permeated the Traver home taunts him, dragging him closer to despair. As Mark meets Sandusky residents who knew his father, they paint an entirely different picture of the man he lived with until he left home in his early twenties. When he ventures up to the dust-filled attic, he finds the footlocker and the letters within. After reading them, everything he thought he knew about his early life evaporates. He is trapped in an emotional whirlwind as the secrets within the footlocker are exposed.

You're Overwatering It!
A maximalist, humorous guide to growing and caring for houseplants--whatever your space, whatever your personality--from a plant fanatic who has transformed his home into an indoor jungle. Water your plant every 7 days? Rubbish. Misting increases humidity? Barely. All plants go dormant in winter? Not if you control their environment. And don't even get me started on the "just put an ice cube on your orchid" people. You monsters. New from social media sensation The Bearded Plantaholic (known as Jonny Balchandani IRL), You're Overwatering It! helps readers choose houseplants to fit their lifestyle, personality, and taste--leading them to plants that will work for them, rather than what's in style. This fun, funny, and gamified guide helps readers perfect their plant parenting skills, working through levels from Plant Noob to Budding Botanist, Plant Whisperer to Plant Curator, and then finally to Plant Mystic. This is a wildly comprehensive yet eminently accessible guidebook from a peer expert, with a fresh voice that brings humor and irreverence to the indoor gardening space. Readers will learn how to grow plants better, what they're doing wrong, and why to ditch the tempting yet distracting myths that send many houseplant growers badly astray. Balchandani teaches plant stewards not just how to care for their beloved houseplants, but how to understand them--so caring for them stops being a chore and starts becoming second nature.

The Innocent Libertine
The Innocent Libertine was among the earliest works to be published by Colette under her own name. n this novel of two parts - originally two separate novellas - we see the heroine Minne at two stages in her life. The cherished teenager, only child of a devoted mother, has a secret life: she wishes to belong to one of the street gangs who roam the outer boulevards of Paris. Her desire for excitement, power and love, drives the innocent into a dangerous adventure. Years later, as a married woman, she remains dissatisfied. She takes lovers, none of whom can make her a 'whole woman'. Only when her marital crisis reaches an extreme pitch does she find the answer, in an unexpected place.
The Soldier's Hat (and Other Stories)
In 1943, despite her own physical disabilities and the stress of living in a Paris under Nazi occupation, Colette, aged 70, published this delightful quartet of tales. In 'The Soldier's Hat', a middle-aged woman blossoms when an unlikely love affair embellishes her hard-working existence - until she makes a fateful mistake. 'The Tender Shoot' sees a fifty-year-old rou矇 trounced when his roving eye falls on a fifteen-year-old country girl. In 'The Green Sealing Wax', the success of a widow's attempt to forge her late husband's will depends on the colour of the sealing wax she uses. 'Armande' is a tale of two bashful lovers. Maxime is unable to declare his passion for Armande, nor can she express her feelings for him, until one day she shakes a door handle too violently... A 'lost' story, 'A Wedding', from the first edition of Colette's final work of fiction, 'Gigi', completes this late flowering of Colette's exceptional talent.
